If you like it and willing to use it then all you need is to rewire your mk2 with something like Cardas or Discovery wire for tonearm (internally), will cost you about $30-50. Something like Zu Audio Mission Phono RCA from ebay promos (directly from the manufacturer) for under $100 depends on the auction final price. Then you can add a platter mat like SAEC SS-300 and Isonoe feet. It will be a nice system with vintage MM cartridge. Just like this. Add Micro Seiki ST-10 disc stabilizer on top and you’re done.
Some people prefer to remove the stock tonearm, this deck can be much better with something like Denon DA-401 instead of the stock arm, but it depends how much you can invest in this turntables.
Remember that some better japanese vintage DD turntables available with better tonearms, better drive, better plinth etc. My next was SP-10 mkII and SP-20.
Upgraded Technics SL1210 mkII is not my main turntable and it’s not even in my main system, but i have it in use for about 23 years and never had any single problem with it. Today’s price for a used unit is something like $300 and i doubt anyone can find something better at this price.
